Slice #1 - THE FIRST

Welcome to Sharing a Slice of Life! Since this is the first prompt of this meme, let's celebrate by sharing about a FIRST in our histories.

Remember how it felt to lay money on the table for that first car? Or how excited you were on your first date? Or not? What about sinking your teeth for the first time into a bite of Calamari?

Perhaps you have a story to share about your ancestors that were the first to step on American soil. Or Grandma had a funny way of using her first washing machine (that looked nothing like ours today!)....

The first of a series of letters my Great Aunt wrote me before she died.

Life is full of firsts! Which one are you going to serve us this Sunday? We look forward to finding out!

"When we begin to share ourselves with our children, we manifest our love for them better than by any other means."~ Theodore Burton

I have been awarded....

Thank you Irish Eyes!

Greetings!

For the record, this is not my original concept. Cricket originated the idea back in 2007/2008 (?) - however, she stopped the meme in 2009. This blog is different in that she was trying to write a book using the different blogger's posts - I am simply giving a prompt with the hope that you'll share with the rest of us as well as your posterity.

We all know we should write these stories down. So often we don't think we have anything interesting to share. Sometimes working in this venue can jog the memory or creativity, to where we realize we have more to share than we thought we did.
